the blog days of summer 2014

With so many things that we want and need to do this summer (and so that we can help liberate a few more pigs from their gravity bound existence),  tiny chumley and I have decided to take a break from our usual daily blogging schedule, and instead we will post to our happy little blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (and sometimes other days :) ).  The same random no-ID-required fun will still be happening as usual on Instragram, Facebook, and Twitter, so please feel free to join in the fun there, and until Monday... hasta la poopie, my friends! :) :)

once in a blue moon

well, i am not sure, lil pink puppy. it was a long time ago when i overheard her say it and mom was not very specific at all. only that it would happen when this day came and the day has definitely arrived because before she told us we had to stay right here, i saw her take the bucket out and she put all the kitchen stuff in the family room......i wonder if he will do it on his own like superman..or maybe he will sprout tiny wings...yeah i think wings too because really if u do not have wings, it is not really flying, is it? 

ooh i think mom's trying to say something..

yes mom, we promise to stay out of the kitchen until the floor is dry. and besides we are busy!

hee hee, didjoo hear that my friends? mom is finished so u know what that means hopefully.  houston, prepare for liftoff...

u can do it, mister piggy! flying is your destiny now that mom's finished mopping the kitchen floor!! :) :)

teeny tiny viney videos: #petstorescore

Vine is usually just a raw playground for tiny chumley's videos, but this series of vines featuring tiny chumley carrying his new snackies to the car from yesterday's visit to the pet store were so cute, they deserved its own little place our happy blog history.  :) #petstorescore

creature of the night

Tiny chumley's nite nite routine doesn't normally have him sniffing out an open window before I lift him into our bed, but that is exactly where I found him, staring out into the darkness with his little noggin half covered by curtains.   The cool night breeze had brought Baxter's nose an encrypted message, and bedtime, it became clear, would simply have to wait.  :)

etsy fresh: a super cool gift for 5 lucky dads

Hee hee hee, hello my friends, it's me, Baxter.  You may know me as your roving rover reporter, but did you know I am also super shop assistant extraordinaire for my mom's Etsy shop? And did u know that Father's day is only three Sundays away? 

If u do not have time to make your dad a super secret stinkeriffic poopie based father's day present like I plan to, then why not check out my mom's Etsy shop, where not only will you find a lovely selection of Father's Day cards, but also a super cute new get well cootie card, and also these extremely cool tiny handmade wire doxie head forms, or busts as I learned u call them in art class.  I thought they would be great Father's day presents for five lucky dads, so I put them in the Father's day section of the shop.  Here is a link in case the hot links do not work. http://etsy.me/1kluUt2

Oh! And in every bust listing description, me and duk duk posted a link to the tiny viney videos we made of each bust like the one below,  because sometimes we figure, even though pictures are worth a thousand words, videos are worth like, eleventy million!  And this way u can see how super cool the busts are from every angle.

Well my friends, my friends Madwilly and Henry Gumption are coming to town this weekend so I just wanted to also say if I miss a day or two posting, u now know why.  But do not worry, I will still be helping mom ship out Etsy orders on time.  And I will be having lots of fun this weekend, like I hope u do.. This is Baxter your roving rover reporter and kalyxcraftopia Etsy shop assistant, wishing you the foofiest of Fridays. :)

PS - if u need for a happy hound birthday part hat really soony soon please convo me via the etsy shop because mom just finished a batch for boys and girls but they will not be posted to Etsy for a bit on account of all the fun I will be having with Madwilly and Henry Gumption. :)

copper penny

My little sewing buddy loves his new view out to the backyard, and I love watching him as the dappled sunlight of morning dances on his shiny little noggin, like a copper penny glinting on the floor of a fountain. :)

summer plans 2014

mom, after we finish this dress for little miss sarah, can we finally work on the speed dampening parachutes me and duk duk need for the dragsters we will be building this summer? :) :)

happy memorial day

"...and the hooooome, of the, braaaaaaaaaave!"

today we take the time to remember and honor the men, women, and dogs who have fallen while in service to our country. and to thank those they left behind, the families and friends with whom we join in spirit today, to celebrate their memories and remind ourselves that all that we have, and all that we cherish, exist because of the sacrifices they have made.  so in closing, I would just like to say..

thank u, thank u verrr much :) ❤️

room with a new view

oooOOOoooOooooo! i had no idea there was so much to see from this window! now that the shrubs are gone, i can see my backyard, and indy's backyard, and kitty trampoline, and i think i can even see
new kitty crossing!  oh yes this will be a great help in my kitty patrol duties. in fact, there is only one more thing we need to do and my new watch spot will be perfect.

mom, because you are so busy and are not always able to open the back door in time for me to follow through with my bunny and kitty chasing duties, well, do u think we can hang a slide off the windowsill?? :)

plank roasted

tiny chumley decided to roast himself like a little piggy on the planks of our sun warmed deck yesterday morning, plopping himself down and claiming his spot much like he does when he is in our bed, oozing into place and securing himself so mysteriously well that it took me more than one uncouthy grunt to roll him back on all fours and shoo him back inside, before the mosquitoes found him and made his sausagey body their daily feast.

sheesh mom okay okay, but when we go back inside, may we please make some ez pz frozen puppy pops? :) :)

And of course, the answer was what it should be. :)

pointy

o, nothing to see here really, mom. I was just wondering what it would be like to have pointy ears that stood up all the time :) 

it's as easy as 1-2-3

hee hee no problemm mom, it's as easy as 1-2-3! :)

super cute

There are some things about a dachshund that go unnoticed because they are so low to the ground and always on the move, things that can't be fully appreciated until a well timed photograph reveals their super cuteness.  Like tiny chumley's pointy little chest whorl, and the shadow lined heart shape that secretly reveals to the world just how big his little heart is. :)

welcome back my elephant friend

hee hee see mom u did not believe me but I toldjoo they would!

welcome back my beautiful elephant friend. I hope u had a wonderful winter :)

just another nut box sunday :)

A certain little kielbasa kept us company outside all afternoon yesterday, watching as the little misses and I swirled bleach gel on fabric while his dad mowed the lawn, all from the comfort and cuteness of his little nut box bed. And that is all we have to say about that :)

stink marks the spot :)

hee hee, no need to be shy, frankie junior my puppy friend who lives in the next neighborhood. go ahead and let the force guide your nose to its destiny!

ooh your nose is cold, Frankie j! Houston, nasal docking procedure with lunar foofie module b.a.x. is a success.  repeat, nasal docking procedure with lunar foofie module b.a.x is a success. commencing second phase lunar module de-pressurization in three, two, one...(pfweeeeeoooeeeoooo!)

hee hee yeah u like it Frankie? the secret ingredient is canned stinky salmon. u should ask for it the next time your mom takes u to the pet store. not only does it make your poop stink, but if u r lucky u might also get the butt scooties. and, if for some reason u cannot find the salmon stuff, try eating some cat poop if u can find it. you will not get quite the same dry down as with the salmon stuff and the base notes are a little earthier, but the taste and texture pair well with both regular low fat kibble and gummy worms, so you can eat it either as a main course, a side, or even dessert.  what's that Frankie? yeah sure I can wait a sec.  I got a million of these so be sure to get your biggest one!

Frankie's gotta go back inside his house and get his pencil and notebook so he can write all ths down.  oh, if he's going back inside, that reminds me -

hey Frankie j! bring a couple of your toys and I will show you how to start your own secret club!! :)

i went to the swirly queen :)

hee hee make mine a banilla wafer sundae with strawberries and gummy worms on top please! :)

the hungry games: pooping fire follow up

Hello my friends, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter here to report that the correct answer to yesterday's hungry games was b, salmon!  If you guessed right, congratulations! And if u did not, do not worry. My tummy and I say it really could have gone either way.

In fact - if I could just take a moment to clean up these dishes....

(clink clink clanky clank!)


...in fact, methinks my tummy and I still have more to say -

More please! :)

Hee hee, this is Baxter your roving rover reporter hoping you have a wonderful weenie pup filled weekend! :)

the hungry games: pooping fire

Hello everybuddy, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter! This year I did not go to the doxie weenie roast like I was thinking I might, so I thought I would do the next best thing to kick off summer - hold my own very special mini hungry games! Today's challenge is a toughie, pitting (a) two delicious and rare mouthwatering pieces of chicken jerky and rawhide twirly sticks that I like, never get except when they are used as candles on my birthday cake, against (b) a snifferiffic spoon of salmony canned goodness, which I also have not had in a while on account of how mom thinks it makes me butt scooty! Yep, I know, a super duper toughie because tummy totally wants to eat both.  But the question every hungry games must answer is, which one will I try to eat first?

 

Now, a lot of data has been recorded regarding my performance at the hungry games, so I thought before I give u the answer, I would let you comment your guess as to which option, A or B, I will go for first.  And then I will tell you the results tomorrow.  So, this is me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter, signing off and wishing you the best of luck at guessing! :)
